A fabulous and varied day

5.00This was a fully packed day with loads included, and so much fun. We did a lot in one very long day (4am to 11pm) making it great value for money. Our guide Oswaldo was hilariously wacky, but efficient and well organised - he kept us to schedule, and was prepared for almost everything (hand sanitiser, phone cables, toilet roll.......) The boat trip was great, we saw loads of different birds and so many sealions, but sadly no penguins (maybe they'd gone fishing). We wimped out of the sand boarding (it wasn't compulsory) but it was fun to watch others do it.
An absolutely unforgettable experience!

5.00It was a LONG DAY trip, 3am - 1am, but it was worth every penny. From seeing sea lions, to wine tasting, to sand dunes, to an oasis. It was a great way to end my time in Perú.
You have to get up early but it is worth it because it lasts a whole day and because I knew more about Peruvian culture c

5.00The visit to Paracas and Huacachina was an unforgettable experience. Although at first the weather did not accompany us, that did not stop us from enjoying the trip. The tour of the Ballestas Islands was fascinating, and the closure in Huacachina was just perfect: stunning dunes, dreamy sunset and lots of adrenaline. Undoubtedly, an adventure worth living. Thank you very much to Davi for being an excellent guide, always attentive, friendly and very willing. It made the experience even better!
